Pretty When It's New

Love's always lovely when first two lovers meet
Hand in hand, arm in arm, walking down the street
Always seen together in everything they do
Love is always pretty when it's new

Love is always special
Especially to the heart
When it's love on sight and all is right
And there's no doubt from the start

'Fore it starts to crumble
There'll be many shades of blue
Ah but, love is always pretty when it's new

Love is always pretty when it's new
It has nothing bad about it
'Til your lover says, we're through

And old love's even sweeter
That old saying is really true
Love is always pretty when it's new

Altogether
Love is always pretty when it's new
Ah, there is nothing bad about it
'Til your lover says, we're through

And old love's even sweeter
That old saying is really true
Ah but, love is always pretty when it's new
